In Short
Service at this restaurant matches its mom-and-pop, 1950s-era diner feel: It's quick, casual and friendly. While meat-eaters indulge in the large array of sandwiches and grilled panini, vegetarians can select from numerous salads and ''country'' soups. Though reasonable prices make the restaurant a favorite among corporate workers during the day and families at night, finding an open table is not often a problem.
